Exactly. I am VERY good at Scrabble and with a lot of work I might be able to be world champion. But for what? Why bother? It's not worth anything.

It sounds like they solve this problem by buying a Netflix subscription and a VPN subscription.

And a NZ version of Netflix just started, which actually has better content than the US (just less of it). They have things like Frozen and the first 2 Hobbit movies, which aren't available on US Netflix.

They are paying Netflix AND a VPN provider. They are paying extra compared to the USA.

My cousin buys all her discs from an American import store. Imported American DVDs ($50 NZ) are usually cheaper than standard NZ DVDs ($60 NZ).

He never answers YOUR prayers. He answers mine quite a bit.

The Bible says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." 1 John 5:14

And the above quote is even more egregious. I don't recall the 18th century pope saying, "Go kill all the Indians". I don't even recall any religious figure saying it. Political figures and opportunists, yes.

I don't know why Columbus always gets dragged into this. HE didn't kill anyone. In fact, he greatly regretted the inevitable genocide that he saw coming.

With the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress gave the FCC the power to: “promote competition in the local telecommunications market”.

Communications Act of 1934, Title II, the second subsection (202) clearly states that common carriers can’t “make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications, regulations, facilities, or services.”

Using #1, they classified ISPs as #2. Seems OK to me.

If anything ever convinced me to be even less of a Republican than I ever was, it's this. They're dead to me now. This completely breaks the internet, which I use every day to make a living. How anyone could be this wrong about something is beyond me.

Does anyone have a link for this?

San Diego has the cleanest power of anywhere in the whole US. They currently get over 25% of their power from renewable sources such as wind and solar and 67% from natural gas. They burn ZERO coal or oil. They are the model for the whole US.

I disagree. Bitcoin has major value in sending money worldwide without fees. Also, it can be used with only a cellphone and an account. Bitcoin could revolutionize 3rd world involvement in the world economy without the blockades that banks have traditionally put in their way.

Right now, Bitcoin is the only way to send money to Wikileaks or mega.co.nz. If you believe in free speech without the government bankrupting foreigners even before a trial just because the banking industry or the MAFIAA doesn't like them, then you should be pro-bitcoin.

It ceased to be fun for me about the 2-3 time I played it.

Give me Scrabble!

Yeah, it has to be his idea. So start with modding something that he likes, like Minecraft. If my parents tried to force me to learn programming, I definitely wouldn't be doing it today. Fortunately for me, they didn't understand anything about computers, which allowed me the freedom to learn it on my own.
